How much does Randy Arozarena earn? Net worth and contract with the Tampa Bay Rays
Randy Arozarena is getting all the attention after proving to be the best player in Mexico and perhaps in the World Baseball Classic.
Mexico made history in the World Baseball Classic and was very close to reaching the final. However, Japan ended up winning thanks to a shot by Munetaka Murakami that drove in two runs leaving the Mexicans lying down.
Despite this, Benjamín Gil ‘s ‘ninth’ made the Mexican audience fall in love with the sport all over again. One of their main heroes and inspiration was precisely Randy Arozarena, a Tampa Bay Rays player who played an impressive tournament.
Despite not being very hot in the duel against the Japanese, the Cuban-born player responded defensively by stealing home runs from the Asians and scored the hit at the most opportune moment to return the advantage to Mexico at that moment.
“No moment is too big, I like to say,” Arozarena said through interpreter Elvis Martinez. “I just go out there and play the game I know how to play. I really enjoyed the tournament and had a lot of fun. I wish we could have won it. We didn’t, but we represented Mexico really well.”
How much money does Randy Arozarena earn?
According to different media, Arozarena has a fortune of approximately $5 million. He could even increase that amount this year with the Rays, who await him with open arms.
According to Spotrac, the 28-year-old player will have a salary of $4.15 million dollars during the year that is about to start in the MLB, that is, almost the accumulated amount of his fortune.
Arozarena is coming off perhaps his most productive season in the MLB, with 20 homers and 89 RBIs.
